Don't you hate it when you're trapped in your house by a TRAIN? Seriously?
66-year-old Aretha Brown lives in Callahan, Florida (--about 15 miles northwest of Jacksonville). --About six weeks ago, CSX Railroad parked a 40-car train on some tracks that cross through Aretha's front yard between her home and the nearest street. And they've been there ever since. --So now, every time Aretha wants to leave the house, she has to either climb under the train, or make a 20-minute walk around it. Seriously?
Thirty-two inches of snow fell in the Washington, D.C., area this weekend. Check out this weatherman freaking out on Friday about the imminent blizzard....
A brush with greatness! Taylor Swift meets John Hines!
A Note From Eleanor Mondale:
I think the second most horrible words to hear after "You have brain cancer" are "The cancer is back".... but it's happened. Again. My fantastic Dr. at the Mayo Clinic - Dr. Joon Uhm - has prescribed a new treatment, and I am hoping, this time, that "third time is a charm". I am tired of this! I have decided to take disability leave while I am receiving treatment so my body can be strong and fight the disease with more gusto. I just don't have the energy to "muscle through it" this time. I miss 'CCO and of course Susie, Dan and all of the stories we hear from our listeners every day. As I watch the beautiful April snow fall down here on the farm, I am grateful for so many things. (OK, maybe not the weather...). I am lucky enough to have a great and loving support system to help me through the uncertainty that is most distressing. I know many people have called and emailed the station, noticing that I am not there. I truly appreciate that and hope that everyone will be patient with me and understand that I am taking this attempt at recovery one day at a time. Some days I feel fine, some days my energy level is nonexistent. I will update this site when I can. Thank everyone in advance for your prayers and thoughts. I can't do this alone. Knowing everyone out there is pulling for me helps immeasurably.
Love, Eleanor
